Our Team, Members and Partners

The success of any project depends on a strong, experienced team and a network of partners. We are proud to have assembled a European team with experience in the areas of privacy, data protection, consumer rights and tech.

Our noyb Office

For our office we are building a pan-European team of lawyers and experts. Besides answering initial inquiries and helping our members, the core task of the office is to work on our enforcement projects and to engage in the necessary research for strategic litigation. Our office team is the key factor of making sure that privacy becomes a reality for everyone.

“Data subjects have to acknowledge their rights and be able to successfully enforce them. I want to help noyb embed a new privacy and data protection culture into the digital world.”

“Especially after the data scandal at Cambridge Analytica, I think there is a need to campaign for data protection. noyb is just the beginning and I’m happy to be part of it.”

In an ever changing digital world, the right to privacy is the backbone of the individual’s freedom. I am excited to be part of noyb's journey to help this freedom unfold

“I am more than happy to be part of noyb from the very beginning on and to help building a strong organization to enforce our right to privacy.”

I am so excited to have joined noyb. Digital rights and data protection should become a reality. Enough talking.

Executive Board

The Board of Directors (“Vorstand”) sets the long term goals, reviews the operations of the organization and meets on a regular basis. The Board of Directors is elected by the organization’s general assembly. According to the Articles of Incorporation of noyb all Board Members strictly act on a pro bono (volunteer) basis.

The Board will appoint a full-time Managing Director (“Geschäftsführer“), who runs the daily operations of noyb, once it is established.

As chairman of ‚epicenter.works‘ I have been working on government surveillance for years. We successfully challenged the EU data retention directive. As a board member of noyb, I am looking forward to closing the enforcement gap in the private sector.

Christof Tschohl

Honorary Board Member, NOYB

Data protection and the right to privacy are core consumer rights. I want to help guide this organization to be a robust advocate for consumer privacy and – as a representative of the Austrian consumer protection agency (VKI) – support it with our longstanding expertise in consumer law enforcement.

Honorary Board Member, NOYB

We are right now building the noyb office. We are working every day to build a strong organization for strategic privacy litigation.

In-house Legal Volunteers

Our trainees are an important part of our legal team and their contribution is crucial for our daily work. Our aim is to integrate every in-house legal volunteer as an actual member of our team and share practical experience with them. We are also looking forward to further collaberations in the future.

Voting Members

There are two types of ordinary members in noyb. Expert members are people who are experts in their field and support noyb with their membership dues, expertise, work and personal contacts. Institutional members are organizations and legal persons who support noyb with funding and services. Together these individual and institutional members form the “general assembly” of noyb. The general assembly elects the Board of Directors. This structure is intended to ensure an independent, stable and long-term operation, as well as the inclusion of key players in the European privacy and digital rights community. We are happy to welcome the following experts and institutions among our members, but we are always looking for fresh support, insight and assistance from distinguished individuals.

Key Partners

In addition to expert and institutional members, noyb is building a network of strategic partners that are important for the enforcement of your rights. They include law firms, legal financing companies, consumer rights organizations and institutions in the areas of tech and privacy.

EU privacy laws need to be enforced. noyb will be able to do this. They have a very impressive track record, and seem ideally positioned to fight for our digital rights. The European Privacy Search engine StartPage.com fully supports noyb. They will be a privacy force to reckon with!” – Robert Beens
